- If a blind person is looking for a seat, tell them where there is a vacant space.
- Ask if they need help (warning not all people might appreciate this)
- "See you later", "Did you watch this movie" doesn't bother Jonathan but some people may be bothered.
- When leading a blind person (across the street), walk normally and let the blind person hang on to your elbow.
